The top-ranked Brock experience continues to be highly popular among Ontario\u2019s high school students, who are once again making Brock their university of choice.<\/p>\n
The deadline for Ontario high school students to accept their admission offers has now passed and this year saw Brock outpace the provincewide increase in these applicants.<\/p>\n
Confirmations are also strong among international students, mature students and those transferring from other universities and colleges.<\/p>\n
Brock is on pace to welcome nearly 4,000 new Badgers this fall \u2014 one of the largest incoming undergraduate classes in the University\u2019s history \u2014 maintaining total enrolment at more than 19,000. Growth was experienced across programs and Faculties, with notable increases in Nursing and Concurrent Education.<\/p>\n
Brock paused its mask requirement and vaccine mandate on July 4 and is planning for a full return to campus in September.<\/p>\n
“I’m thrilled that so many students have chosen to pursue an exceptional post-secondary education at Brock,\u201d says Interim President and Vice-Chancellor Lynn Wells. \u201cAfter multiple years of pandemic-related restrictions and uncertainty, we\u2019re excited to be able to offer the full on-campus experience for students this fall \u2014 something the entire Brock community is looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lifting of public health restrictions has enabled prospective students to visit Brock\u2019s campus for tours, and for the recruitment team to once again hit the road visiting prospective students and their supporters across Canada and around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrock is well known amongst high school students for its highly-ranked student experience and its commitment to supporting students, so it\u2019s no surprise that they continue to choose Brock in increasing numbers,\u201d says Matthew Melnyk, Director of Student Recruitment. \u201cWe can’t wait to welcome these new members of the Badger family for the full campus experience this September.\u201d<\/p>\n
Working with University Marketing and Communications, the Student Recruitment team is using new and creative marketing strategies with trending digital platforms like TikTok and Spotify, leveraging location- and interest-based targeting, and partnering with social media influencers to ensure as many prospective students as possible have the opportunity to learn about Brock.<\/p>\n
Brock has been ranked first among all comprehensive universities in Canada for its mental health supports by Maclean\u2019s magazine<\/em><\/a> for four straight years, and last year ranked first in Ontario and third in the country for student satisfaction.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Brock\u2019s Kinesiology and Sport Management programs were ranked among the Top 100 in the world and among the Top 9 in Canada in the QS University World Rankings.<\/a><\/p>\n
